MY REVIEW:
From the very first page, I knew I was going to enjoy this story. I expected it to be a different story than what I read, but after realizing it wasn’t going in the direction I thought it would, I enjoyed the read.
I especially enjoyed each character and their arc and kept turning the pages wanting to know where I was being led.
Between you and me by Carol Mason
I will admit that I expected more – more tension, more twists, more discovery. I expected something sinister to happen between the text messages between two of the characters, more than just a different identity being revealed, and I was being led down the path of a twist with the husband only to have there be nothing twisty about it.
For fans of thrillers or psych suspense, this isn’t that book. However, if you love a dark women’s fiction – you are going to love this!
